My husband and I visited Fellini Koolini's on the recommendation of a friend. We ordered 6 arancini balls to start. We received a plate of 2, and assumed that the others were on their way. Eventually our food arrived, and still no sign of the remaining appetizer. We both ordered pasta, and I would say it was more what I would expect from a chain like East Side Marios. Just average, and I didn't feel it was worth $25. When our server returned, my husband asked for the remaining arancini. The server said "oh, is that what happened?' and didn't seem overly concerned that we hadn't received our order. We eventually got a plate with 3 more. For the $105 we spent, I wouldn't say it was worth it. The service was lacking and the food just ok. I'd skip this one.
HM, the hostess was nice and the service was fast. The ambiance is great. But, I went for great food; particularly something in the seafood category. As my appetizer I ordered the halloumi it was yummy. Truth be told I could eat that all day. Who doesn't love cheese bathed in Pernod and set ablaze right before serving. Stop a bed of greens like basil with I think...grilled, cherry tomatoes. 5 stars on that dish. My main I figured fill my craving with their seafood spaggetini with a white sauce. Was it an Alfredo? In my mind I imagined the scallops those large firm buttery sweet things I only buy once in awhile. As they are more of a special occasion dish in our house because my Paella is a big dish and we are only two. I dreamt of some large shrimp you know the ones that are caught of the coast of exotic places like Argentina then flash frozen to preserve their taste and of course extend the storage. Boy, I was a little surprised smallest scallops I've ever seen and while there were many I felt like they should have been more at home in a seafood chowder. The shrimp were ok maybe a bit slightly over done... The sauce was bland. It had a nice texture but certainly lacked the sort of Italian flavors I had hoped for. Sorry, I should tell you it was my 40th birthday and I love to eat so yes perhaps my expectations may have been too high. That being said, I know it costs me around ten bucks to make that dish at home. But, I was not cooking on my big day and at 29 dollars I expected more. The desert had the right flavors but sorry that is not tiramisu. It was like some sort of packaged looking thing they through on a plate and drenched in whip cream to hide the obviously packaged look of it. Got to love GFS. Anyways, in short if you don't like to cook international cuisine at home and just want ambiance, paired with friendly friendly staff. Then eat here. Personally, I'm a little bummed out. Good thing, I was in good company and the front end service was excellent. Or I might have been a different kind of guest.PS I recreated the dish at home the very next day. Mine was soo much better even my husband went for seconds.
Went out for dinner for my bachelorette party here. Great food and lovely atmosphere. Staff were friendly and attentive and service was good. Everyone had a great time and thought the food was delicious and would come back again. I recommend their Paloma cocktail, calamari and shrimp and chicken dill pasta. Cheesecake was excellent too. Thank you for the nice night out!

Amazing food and great prices. If you want a great Italian experience then look no farther.I came back to London after moving away for 12 years and this place was definitely on my top 5 restaurants in entire city to go back to.Cheers team and owners :)
Stopped in to the Runt Club today for a late lunch / early dinner. This place has been around for decades, and it really hasn't changed much at all.The menu is pretty much the same as it was 10 years ago, and while there's something to be said for a classic menu... it's time for a change. The food was... ok.. but lacked the passion of a new restaurant. Kind of like they were just going through the motions.The same tomato sauce was used in 3 dishes, 2 apps and an entrée. The veggies in both of the entrées were stone cold in parts and hot in others, like they'd been heated in the microwave. The chicken parm had very little tomato sauce on it. And the fettuccine had zero flavor.. literally zero.. had to add salt and parm to give it any flavor.Still around and still busy.. but for 100 bucks you can get much better food pretty much anywhere else in London.
Table was great food was fantastic and our server was charming can’t wait to return
An amazing Italian spot in London! Growing up Italian and after going to Italy the food was very good.
Had a very terrible experience. We were a group of 10 and were celebrating a birthday. The service was extremely slow, we waited about an hour and a half to get our food, the bills came out wrong and the food itself is not good at all. Definitely will not be returning.
This is one of our all time favorites, and has been for quite a few years. Always a good selection of quality food, and is such a fun place to eat! My wife had the Asiago Chicken and was blown away with the flavor. I had the Sicilian Penne. The pasta was cooked perfectly and it had a nice spice to it. The chocolate cheesecake topped the meal of perfectly. Thanks so much to the staff for making it a wonderful night.
